Jenny Block, author of, “Be that Unicorn: Find your Magic, Live your Truth, and Share your Shine,” began her career in words teaching college English in Virginia. Before too long, she found herself writing articles and books about everything from art to rock climbing to finding love. After that came radio and television appearances, as well as speaking engagements at universities, at museums, and even on cruise ships. She has traveled the world and has had the pleasure of meeting and working with all kinds of people from all kinds of places doing all kinds of things. That’s when she discovered her magic — bringing out That Unicorn that’s in all of us. Now Jenny spends her time and her words living her truth and sharing her shine, which she does on a lake in Nowhere, Texas with her wife Robin and her two dogs, a Chihuahua-terrier mix named Walter and a Chihuahua-dachshund mix named Aurora.
